Anne Gros, Richebourg 2011

Top of the line at Domaine Anne Gros is Grand Cru Richebourg. In the bouquet deep complex layers of pinot fruit, with expressions of strawberries, pommegranate, raspberries and cherries wonderfully spiced with violets and peony rose – the essence of Vosne. On the palate quite velvet jelly fruit, with sweet red fruit aromas combined with darker fruit and the quite muscular mineralitity of the Richebourg terroir. Very transparant expression of the terroir, delicate but still powerful – an outstanding wine in the making.
